KY. says he was, for many years,
badly afflicted with Phthisic, also Dia-

throw him into commissions. He tried

was entirely cured, and had gained in

RANsAs WURDERERs.

The following communication, re-
ceived this morning from ]. G. Cald-
well, president of the state board of
pardons, will explain itself:
STATE BOARD OF PARDoNs,
TOPEKA, Kas., July IA, 1887.
Editor of the EVENING NEWS, Emporia, Kan
sas;
DEAR SIR:-My attention has been
called to an editorial in your paper of
yesterday rejecting upon the action of
this board. Your article is founded
upon an entire Misrepresentation of
facts. Not one of the cOnvicts named
has been recommended by this board
for executive clemency. You have
doubtless been misled by an article in
the Kansas City journal, which gave a
list of the cases presented to the board.
No person has ever been recommended
by us for executive clemency, whose
case has not been thoroughly investi-
gated and full hearing given to both
sides. The enclosed copy of ''rules"
viii you kindly give this correc-
ton the same publicity as the article
which called it forth?
Very truly yours,
JOHN G. CALDWELL.
Accompanying the communication is
long list of rules adopted for the
guidance of the board-too long for
publication-none of which, however,
provide against the pardoning of muir
derers condemned to the gallows. And
the very fact that all these rules re-
ferred to by this communication have
been complied with, and yet that the
- civ
sentenced to be hanged = are on the
printed list of those to be considered
by the board in hopes of a recommend.
alton for executive clemency, is OF
itself alone an all-suficient argument
that what we condemned in our edito
rial of the 18th is worthy of such con.
demnation.
In that article we neither charged
the board or the governor with any
dereliction of duty. We simply called
attention to the fact that six men who
had been convicted of murder in the
first degree, and who fol
their crimes had been condemned
to be hanged, were on a list
recommended for executive clemency
but did not say they were among those
acted upon either by the board or the
governor.
What we did say, and repeat now, is
that law that provides no worse pen.
atty than a sentence of Imprisonment fol
murderers and assassins, with a board
of pardons in session considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of recommending six OF
this class for clemency, is simply Law
which offers premium for murderers
to come to this state and commit theiI
crimes. And the records of Lyon coun.
ty will prove the assertion, as, out OF
eight murder cases tried at this place
not one of the accused but was either a
stranger or had resided here but very
short time, and in the Baxter-Smith
case, now occupying the attention of
our officers, both the victim and the
murderer came from Missouri, and it is
more than possible that our lenient laws
had something to do with their coming.
AS we said in the editorial re-
ferred to: 'This being so, is it not a
question for our people to decide as to
the advisability of continuing a law
which practically puts premium on
the preparation of murder within our
borders, and thus not only give US a
bad reputation, but also puts cur peo-
nile tn heavy exnansa and trOuhIep',

LincoIn's Leg Cases.


Some of my generals said President
Lincoln. 'complsin that my frequent par
dons impair discipline; but it rests me
after days work to ind some excuse
for saving poor fellows life.'
Every case in which court martial
pronounces the penalty of death is sent
to the President for his approval. One
day Judge Holt, the judge advocate gen
eral, laid case before President Linz
coin.
We'll, I'll keeq this until l have more

At last Judge Holt presented most
fragrant case. A soldier, in the crisis of
the battle, had thrown away his gun

tried he had confessed his guilt. More
over, it was proven that he had stolen
continually from bis comrades. He had
DO parents. wife or child, and the court
martial sentence seemed just one.
There, Mr.. President said Judge
Holt, is case which comes exactly
within your requirements. He has no
relatives, does not deny his guilt.is unfit
to wear the uniform, and would better
serve the country dead Than living.
We'll. judge answered the President
running his long fingers through his
hair. Il guess must put this with my
leg cases.
Leg cases, Mr.. President? said the
Judge, frowning at the levity. What
do you mean by leg cases?
why, do you see those papers crowd
ed into those pigeon holes? They are
the cases that you call by that long
title 'Cowardice in the face of the enc

Naturally Reduced Iron.

On the North Saskatchewan river, in the
northwest territory of Canada, about seventy
miles above the town of Edmonton, Alberta,
there is an interesting example Of naturally
reduced iron. Along the river bank Ignite
formation crops out for several miles, over
laid by clay shales and soft argillaceous
sandstones containing nodules Of clay iron
stone. These nodules are similar to others
found at Edmonton, and proved by analysis
to be carbonates ofiron, containing 81 96 per
cent. Of metallic iron. The Saskatchewan
seam Of Ignite has at some time or other been
burnt, leaving bed of ashes, clinkers and
burnt clay, in places twenty feet thick, and
now covered by dense growth Of grass and
underwood. From this mass of burnt clay
pieces Of metallic iron can be picked out,
weighing in some cases fifteen pounds or
twenty pounds. They have evidently been
reduced from the nodules above mentioned
by the heat of the burning Ignite Most of
the pieces of iron are much rusted; but when
scratched with a file they show bright sur
face. The observation is interesting, and to
some may help to explain how primitive man
originally discovered the reduction Of iron
ore.-Engineering.

LOSS AND GAIN.

Do not count, when day is Ger.
Daily loss from life's rich store;
But the gains, however small,
Count them daily. one and all,
Every sweet aid gracious word,
Every pleasant truth you've heard;
Every tender glance and tone,
Every kindly deed you've known;
Every duty nobl} done,
Every rightful victory won
Treasure all, and count them DER
As miser counts his store.
But if bittsr word or thought
Have a bitter harvest brought
Ii some fOeman hath assailed you,
Or the friend most trusted failed you
If unkindness and untruth
Have to you brought saddest ruth,
Blot the score without delay
Keep no record of the day.
Keep no record Of the care.
Loss and cross we all must bear;
On the page of memory write
Only what Is fair and bright.
Let all evil things go by;
Still, with brave endeavOr, try
Simple joys to multiply.
Thus you'll learn how large a sum
Will with faithful reckoning come.
Long as after cloud and rain
Blessed sunshine comes again.
Long as after winters gloom
Summer roses bud and bloom;
Long as we have with US here
One sad heart that we may cheer,
Long as love gilds sorrows cross,
Life's rich gain o'erpays the loss.
